    Help With Dry Hopping An Iipa

    Had a listen to the podcast. Really good stuff. He goes into all sorts of detail about the hopping schedule for the beer but doesn't specifically give reason for the double dry hopping. He does mention that he's not a fan of the "vegetative" notes that can result from longer exposure to dry...

    Help With Dry Hopping An Iipa

    Holy ghost! 10g / litre. Have you brewed anything approaching that? As I've read before somewhere I don't want to end up with a beer that tastes like "hippy mouthwash".... but I do want it to pack an aroma punch. I suppose what I'm wondering is, if I did dry hop at, say, 8g / litre would this...

    Help With A Robust Porter Recipe

    Thanks for all the replies. Ha, ha... yeah. The original recipe is a bit complicated. Probably more a result of my indecision than anything. The fact that the beer pushes close to stout territory is probably a bit of the same. I was tossing up whether to go porter or stout, so decided on a...

    Help With A Robust Porter Recipe

    I'm happily about to put down my 2nd BIAB brew and thought I'd go for a nice winter sipper... a Porter. Never brewed one before and being only my 2nd AG brew would like some feedback / opinions on this recipe that I've put together. I'm hoping for a full bodied, strong, fairly sweet beer...
